Thank you for creating this! I use it on a daily basis.

It might be a bit overkill, but have you taken a look at this?: https://github.com/vilcans/screenplain

This is pretty cool. I've always wanted to add this functionality, but back when I had more time, there weren't as polished solutions as screenplain looks now. I will have to look into this more. Thanks for pointing it out!

Do you need any help with the built-in pdf compiler/feature? Let's make it happen.

I tried using online writerduet and http://afterwriting.com/ and they build different pdf with same .fountain input.

I have no idea what is up with this buzz of cloud and online everything ... What if you'd like to get away to remote place and just write?

@bermuda3angle Sure! I was actually just talking to someone about this, and how I was leaning towards using the Javascript Electron cross-platform app builder. Github used it to make their text editor Atom. http://electron.atom.io/

I thought that if I could make it stand alone, it'd make it a lot easier for people to use. Also there is a lot more out there in terms of dealing with PDFs and things in general, than in python. I should hopefully be able to re-use a lot of the Regular Expressions.

I even bought the updated Final Draft so I had something to compare outputted scripts with. Would be cool to add import/export abilities to Final Draft too.
